弗兰西斯·培根在对旧逻辑批判的基础上,创立了以观察和实验为基础的归纳法——科学归纳法。培根归纳法的问世,创立了近代归纳逻辑的第一个形态。培根归纳法的特质包括其归纳法是一种排除归纳法,突出了分析方法,注重证据的质量,与实验自然科学的兴起相适应,其归纳方法论包含着某些朴素的辩证法因素。尽管,培根的归纳法有一定的局限性;但是,培根的归纳法在近现代归纳逻辑的发展中的影响和作用是不容低估的。应当用唯物辩证法的观点和方式,对培根的归纳法进行认识和评价。
By criticizing the old logic, Francis Bacon created the inductive method, also called scientific method, based on observation and experiments. Bacon's inductive method is an exclusive one which emphasizes analyzing methods, the quality of data and some plain dialectic ideas. Despite some limitations, his inductive method's influence and role in the development of modern inductive logic can't be denied.
